Private lakeside retreat with pool, hot tub, and sauna

Constructed in 2024, Sybil Haus is a secluded, private retreat in the heart of Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes.

Sleeps 16 adults and we hope you rest well. The 3 king bedrooms have bathroom en suites. The other two bedrooms share a “jack and jill” bathroom. There is also a pull out queen sofa bed in the basement living area. And when you lay down in the primary suite, you’ll fall asleep looking at the Big Dipper out the window (or admire while sitting on the deck or pool area).

Come to Sybil Haus to relax. First check out the steam shower, then the next day sauna with the adjoining shower room. Take a dip in the pool (May 1 through October 31) and then hop in the spa overlooking the lake. Don’t forget to go to the gulley for lake access where you can enjoy the refreshing water, sunrises & sunsets on the dock, a sandy beach, and fire pit. Great for kids! And before you come back in, rinse off your legs in the warm water of the outdoor shower before entering the 3-season porch tucked in between the treetops. Its leather furniture welcomes long naps, games, and conversation.

For those who like to cook and bake, the kitchen has JennAir appliances including a double oven, warming drawer, gas range, and microwave (not to mention a gas grill, all the utensils, crock pots, stock pots, a KitchenAid mixer, blender, popcorn maker, and ice cream maker). And for the entertainers, there are 3 ice-making refrigerators, and enough seating in the kitchen and dining room for everyone.

Sybil Haus encourages longer stays if you can. Work remotely with several built-in desks and high speed fiber optic internet with a mesh wifi system (1 GB down, 100 MB up aka top notch). There’s also 2 washers and 2 dryers, a Peloton, pull-up bar, ceiling fans everywhere, AC, and in-floor heat. Soak in each season. The 30mi bike path is nearby, the apple orchard is just a walk away, and lots of folks bring their snowmobiles, boats and ice fishing shanties.

Plenty to see and visit as well locally. Vergas - a town of 300 - invests in celebrations, parks and recreation, small businesses, and each other. For groceries, go to Ditterich Mercantile and Family Farm; grab a bag of their specialty popcorn. Duane is the owner and his kids work there too. Or pick up a Sybil Lake sweatshirt at The Lavish Loon and meet the owner there, Sarah. And buy your beer at Vergas Municipal Liquor Store, but make a pit stop at Billy’s (Corner Bar) first. FYI They host bingo on Thursdays at 7, and Sundays at 3, and their meat raffle is on Friday night. But the list goes on…
